Read about Europe’s largest ever cargo pedelec test in the ExtraEnergy Magazine. This, the fourteenth edition, focuses on informing readers about the important steps to take when choosing the correct cargo pedelec, their suitability for child carrying, for commercial applications and the subject of safety. Exclusives in this test: a pre-production component demonstrator using the Marquardt modular system, as well as the Urban Wheelz prototype.
Special sections provide details about the pros and cons of retro-fit conversion kits, and about self-balancing vehicles, their legal situation, practical usage tips as well as ExtraEnergy Test reports on the one-wheeled Solowheel Xtreme and Ninebot One C+.
Free print edition
As part of the LEV Components Special Exhibition at EUROBIKE 2016, copies of the ExtraEnergy Magazine will be available for you to take away free of charge on Stand FO-OG100.
The Special Exhibition is dedicated to the presentation worldwide of technologies and products around Light Electric Vehicles (LEVs). Participating exhibitors provide information about their product offerings and special features in three languages (English, German and Chinese) on custom-made posters. Samples of products alongside each poster permit a first-hand interactive product experience.
The next events are INTERMOT in Cologne, Taichung Bike Week in Taiwan, and the ‘Abgefahren/Touristik&Caravaning’ show in Leipzig.
Seeking test riders
The new ExtraEnergy Pedelec and E-Bike Test begins on the 1st October 2016. New drive systems, new technology, fitness and open air are all on offer.
The ride testing will be carried out in and around Tanna in the Thuringia region of Germany using specially built – and unique to date – measurement technology. Key figures for range, power assistance, drive efficiency, average speed and more will be determined for tour, hills and city test routes.
Up to seven testers will ride the electric bikes for two weeks, from the 1st to 15th October, and seven additional testers from the 17th to 31st October 2016, on what is currently the world’s only reference test circuit for pedelec and e-bikes. It’s a fitness opportunity with great learning potential.

We look forward to meeting you!
About ExtraEnergy
ExtraEnergy has carried out independent e-bike and pedelec tests since 1992. Since then the organisation has established itself as the most influential information, user protection and promotional organisation for light electric vehicles (LEVs) worldwide.
The founders realised from the start that these vehicles need to be experienced first-hand. Since 1997 the Test IT Track has been on the road, and today has three units for the Test IT Show. ExtraEnergy is also rooted at its test facility in Tanna, where 24 years of test reports and LEV history are on display at the LEV Museum.
Other services on offer include presentations and exhibitions at trade and public shows, plus information distribution with the assistance of correspondents worldwide.
Alongside our physical presence, www.extraenergy.org provides a treasure-house of information online. With support from the European Union and the IEA (International Energy Agency), in 2012 the Go Pedelec! Handbook was published in German, English, Dutch, Hungarian, Czech, Italian, Spanish and Chinese, including much new information and best practice studies for electric-assist two-wheelers.
As founding members of the EnergyBus and BATSO (Battery Safety Organisation) associations, ExtraEnergy is also active on both the ISO (International Standards Organisation) Standards Committee, with a focus on mechanical standardisation, and on the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission), and so helps set safety and communication standards for LEVs worldwide.
